Water Safety is CRITICAL! AR Act 101 urges districts to provide water safety information to families. In an area like ours -- where water-related recreational options are all around -- this is even more important.
Thank a teacher next week! https://youtu.be/_GkAzYMkUns
No school on Friday for students!
Career-Connected Learning In Action: Thanks to Mr. Josh Smith (parent of a student in Mrs. Reeves' class) for bringing horses to first grade yesterday! Our kids got to learn all about horses from an expert, and they loved it!
A note from Mrs. Dewey:
It is my pleasure to present the Outdoor Adventures Educator of the Year: Freddy Penka. Coach Penka was notified of his receipt of this national award last fall and recently a team came to film him teaching and talked to him about the impacts this class has on students' lives. Please take a moment to watch this video and to reflect on the lives our educators are changing every day.
Freddy got to accept his award and watch the premiere of this video last Thursday at the Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation's annual banquet in Dallas.
